Sipping in Seattle with Cameron Hughes Wines

Have I told you lately how much I love my job? I really do (well except for doing dishes but hey we can’t have it all right). Part of my job includes traveling. Tough right? Last week we jetted off to Seattle. Susan and I had big plans for the city, one of which included a swanky soiree we co-hosted Friday night.

After the sun had set we welcomed a group of gorgeous bloggers and friends to our penthouse (how gorgeous is that view we had?) for an evening of great food, fun and WINE. Cameron Hughes Wine, of course.

If you know me, you know I like my wine. I cook with wine, I have wine with my meals, I socialize with wine. I prefer whites but when I come across a red that turns my head I’m not going to turn the glass away. I was lucky to have sampled all of the wines at our party and I can tell you that you’d never guess that these gorgeous wines we tasted all cost less than $20 bucks a bottle. Go ahead, try them for yourself and see ; )

Here’s a little more information on Cameron Hughes Wines:

“Cameron Hughes Wine is run by a dynamic hubby-wife duo: Cam and Jess!

They are passionate about providing AMAZING wine at affordable prices – and take the wine jargon out of it making it easy to order what you LOVE! They do this by providing an assortment of wine varietals from all over the world: because they don’t actually own a vineyard or winery, they’re not tied to any land! Instead, Cam samples wine from ALL over the world providing the best wines at amazing values “

Note on the term California Field Blend: taken from the central valley where growers would take whatever was successfully growing and propogate it to build additional vines. They’d take the wood from the successful vine and create more. Many were fanciful, old-school Italian varietals but grown in California (this particular blend comes from a grower partner in Lodi): improved quality, blending flexibility

Big fruit on the nose: blueberry, raspberry, kirsch and kiss of black pepper in the background

Rich, multi-faceted wine
